Hostetter - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detoxification services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services usually include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug treatment facility which can supply detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
